Young left-armer seamer Jitendra Patil, who is touted to be quickest bowler among the present lot, is also under the selection scanner of the Delhi Daredevils team. Apparently, the GMR Group is impressed with what they have heard of left-armer seamer Jitendra Patil, touted to be the best thing to have happened to state cricket. "Jitendra is definitely someone our people would like to have a look during the Ranji one-dayers in Rajkot. He looks promising and he is very much under consideration," said T.A Shekhar, vice president of the GMR Sports Group, which owns the Delhi Daredevils team.
The talent scouting team of the Delhi Daredevils team, which had pegged February 15 as the date on which they would decide which of two Pune boys -Kedar Jadhav and Ameya Shrikhande made the cut, now wants to see some of the Maharashtra cricketers besides Kedar and Ameya during the upcoming one-dayers. "Our sports committee people will watch some of the Maharashtra boys in Rajkot. Watching them would give us a fair idea about what they can deliver," said Shekhar.
So has there been in the shift in the stand of setting their sights on taking one batsman? "As I've said before, we will take one batsman, it could be Kedar or Ameya or even some one else. We want to have a broader pool of players to look at," he clarifies.
So is he willing to set any time-frame when they take the final decision? "All I can say is that our people will arrive at a decision by the end of this month," he added.
